Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To provide an ink tube structure that is compact, inexpensive, and easy to assemble. A connected and integrated tube structure in which a plurality of bundles of ink tubes 1 are solid-integrated or simultaneously formed by simultaneously molding a plurality of ink tubes having a common length as much as possible.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a structure of a plurality of ink tubes in an inkjet color printer or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIG. 3, the structure of the ink jet type color printing apparatus is such that while the ink jet print head 4 is printing, the print characters are formed by the reciprocal movement in the direction of arrow A. With the movement, the ink tube 1 connected to the inkjet printing head 4 interlocks with the fulcrum 3 of the color printing apparatus main body 2 as a fulcrum. At that time, each of the ink tubes 1 needs to move in a bundle so that the plurality of ink tubes 1 are parallel to the moving direction of the inkjet print head 4, and the vibration is suppressed and the printing apparatus is operated in a high temperature environment. In order to suppress the deformation and the like that occur when the ink is left unattended, as shown in FIG. 4, it has a structure in which a plurality of ink tubes 1 are bundled in several places around a bundle band 5.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, this conventional structure has the following problems.

First, the binding portion of the bundle band occupies a large space. Secondly, a part of the bundle band for supporting one bundle is required. Further, since it is difficult to carry out the binding work with the bundle band, the work cost is increased.

Therefore, the present invention solves these problems, and its purpose is to eliminate the parts for bundling a plurality of ink tubes, to make them compact, inexpensive, and to simplify the assembly work. To provide the structure of the ink tube.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the ink tube connection structure according to the present invention, in an ink jet type color printing apparatus having a plurality of ink tubes, a plurality of ink tubes are connected and integrated. Characterize.

[0007]

【Example】

 Therefore, details of the present invention will be described below based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and is a perspective view showing the structure of the ink tube 1 of FIG. 3, and each of the plurality of ink tubes 1 has a function of supplying ink. A structure in which adjacent shapes are formed in a state where they can be placed together is integrally molded of the same material forming the tube, or an integrated tube structure 6 is formed by simultaneous molding of a common length for a plurality of ink tubes. .

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which is a connection-type integrated ink such as tube structures 7 and 8 integrated in a block shape or a tube structure 9 integrated in parallel. It shows a tube structure.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 The structure of the present invention having the contents described above has the following effects.

First, compactness can be achieved by eliminating the binding band for bundling a plurality of ink tubes.

Secondly, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the component cost and simplifying the assembling work.
